(AP Photo)ZURICH -- FIFA has opened a disciplinary case against the German soccer federation after fans chanted Nazi slogans during a World Cup qualifying game in the Czech Republic. German officials have said the fans did not buy tickets through its official process for last Friday's game in Prague. About 200 German supporters chanted slogans during their team's 2-1 win, and verbally abused forward Timo Werner, who scored the first goal. German soccer president Reinhard Grindel, a member of the ruling committees at FIFA and UEFA, said European federations must work together more closely to control ticket distribution.
